Overview

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at Greenwich Hospital provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary outpatient care to support individuals across the lifespan, from adolescence through older adulthood. Through our affiliation with clinicians and renowned expertise of clinical faculty from the Yale School of Medicine, patients benefit from evidence-based care delivered by experienced clinicians addressing a wide range of mental and behavioral health concerns. Our programs specialize in treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar and mood disorders, psychotic disorders, addiction, and behavioral and nutritional health needs. Clinical teams at Greenwich Hospital are available to support the holistic mental health and wellbeing needs of individuals in lower Fairfield County, offering expert care close to home. Ambulatory Psychiatry and Behavioral Health offer six different programs of treatment for individuals and families.

Our Approach

Treatment at Greenwich Hospital’s Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Program is grounded in the following principles:

  • Respect and empathy for the individual.
  • Belief in the human capacity to change.
  • Provision of culturally competent services.
  • Recognition of the importance of family and peers to the recovery process.
  • A dedication to evidence-based treatment and to the best practices in the field.
  • Belief that each patient has the potential to improve and strive to maximize that potential in the least restrictive setting.
  • Cooperation with community providers and referring agencies in assuring a continuum of quality care.

Referrals and Insurance

Psychiatry and Behavioral Health referrals are accepted from psychiatrists, therapists, primary care providers, and inpatient and outpatient treatment programs. Self-referrals are also accepted.

We are participating providers for most insurance carriers. However, it is always recommended that patients check with their health care insurance company on the details of their behavioral health policy coverage.
